THE CHALLENGE

Improved Malaria spraying can help boost health and economy by reducing the spread of the disease but when scattered over homes in vast rural areas with no addresses or maps, it’s difficult to track which homes are sprayed. Spray teams in rural Mozambique have limited tech skills and use paper-based recording processes. In addition, work is carried out in open fields where there are tough environmental conditions. The budget for tech is limited as funds are allocated towards anti-malaria chemicals.
